Subject: Re: PUPT: Dodecahedron


The "dodecahedron" may be manipulated into a tetrahedron, or a pyramid, or in 
flat shapes: parallelagram, triangles and other 2 & 3 dimensional 
shapes...great math teaching device for middle school kids....but basically 
the Puppet is a series of triangles, the basic shape and building block of 
geometry.   Jim Gamble, B.S. Aero/Space Engineering, M.S. AeroSpace Systems

of all careers in which to be successful...$$$$$$$$.)   :-)))))
